District-Level NCES Analysis

The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other, 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 7,571 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Harris County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,557 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 3.0% local, 79.7% state, and 17.3% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 38/100, ranked #739 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (38 AP courses district-wide), a 650.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Harmony School of Excellence-Houston accounts for 15.4% of all HARMONY PUBLIC SCHOOLS - HOUSTON NORTH student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means HARMONY PUBLIC SCHOOLS - HOUSTON NORTH-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
